"The Council of Mages has lost twenty-seven excellent mages in previous battles, including veteran scholars like Tress and Norman, such a loss...... How can you make up for the past with a single word? ”

"I know it's my fault, I led them to the coordinates of the Tower of Tyranny, but the main culprit for this so-called is the Restorationists and the Alliance of Destiny, not just a few adventurers......"

"Of course we'll settle the debts of the restorationists with them, but I've seen the magical images left by Marlock...... These adventurers have clearly slashed the robes of several mage councils! ”

"As one of the victims, of course I understand what happened that day, but since this Mo Shang Qingshan saved my life, of course I am willing to reconsider his words and examine what happened that day!"

The quarrel that gradually sounded in the deep dark night dispersed the silence around them, and at the same time, the voices of the two women who didn't know how old they were echoed around the Mage Council, because of the excitement of emotions and words, and even when Duan Qing on the side began to worry about whether it would attract the enemy - since the blue-haired and blue-robed Christine appeared, Rona who automatically stood in front of him began to defend Duan Qing, and from the actual effect, this newly reborn weaver of fate, Its actual right to speak does not seem to be as authoritative as Duan Qing imagined: "That, I say ......"

"Do you want to listen to me a little bit?"

“…… You said. ”

Christine, who seemed to have become tired of the endless quarrels, and her image and temperament had not changed in the slightest, took the lead in removing her eyes from the other party, but Duan Qing, who was staring at her, did not speak immediately, but entered the thought with her chin: "Although several days have passed, I haven't gone out to inquire about this matter, so ...... May I start by asking how your Mage Council judges us murderers? ”

“…… You don't know? Christine's face seemed to have a strange sneer: "You...... How could it not be known? ”

"At least put together some evidence of your charges." Rhona immediately spoke up, "He's the one who only entered the tower later. ”

“…… I don't know how you got in, but according to the magical records that Marlock left before leaving, that companion of yours, Snow Spirit Ice, has been back in the Tower of Tyranny since the beginning. ”

With a mature smile on her face again, Christine finally stabilized her mood slightly: "She passed through the portal you just left, returned to the sixteenth floor, and then ...... Began to wreak havoc and destroy the teleportation management center's guards. ”

“…… That's amazing. So Duan Qing sighed slightly: "And then?" ”

"The Restorationists who have invaded the Tower of Tyranny have seized control of the management center and closed all access to the inner and outer borders, but at the time we were all fighting the enemy in the outside world, and no one noticed the anomaly." Christine explained in a low voice, "The first thing I noticed was my sister Freya, who tried to come to my aid after freeing herself from Teresa's entanglement, but was ...... because the portal failed"

That is to say...... It's a premeditated plan, isn't it? Duan Qing said with a deep groan, but his brows were furrowed more and more tightly: "Strange ......"

“…… How? ”

"I can assure you that the restorationists at that time had no connection with us."

The first to say this, Duan Qing spread his hands: "But I also know that my companion was very ...... at that time It's not normal, she seems to see me as an enemy as well, and that's in the virtual ...... This is something that is almost impossible to happen in the world of adventurers. ”

"Illusion, deception, mirroring, and even mind control." Luo Na on the side was the first to speak: "There are many ways to do this, as long as your companion does not have too strong mental power and too much defense......"

"I think so too." Duan Qing's arms hugged his chest again: "But...... I don't have much of a chance to confirm that now. ”

“…… You want to prove that the crime committed by that Snow Spirit Phantom Ice was not of her own volition? Christine's gaze became a little weirder when she looked back and forth: "How can I easily believe this kind of fantasy-like joke?" ”

"I know it's harder to believe a statement like that, like to make you believe that the murderer didn't kill at all." Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "But there are still many signs that can prove what I just said, such as the great strength she showed when she fought me, and the mental state that she was completely unable to communicate normally...... These things can only be seen by those present, and it is difficult to detect them through magical images. ”

"I was in ...... Uh, in a dead state, so it's hard for me to confirm what he just said. Looking at Christine's subsequent turn of gaze, the white-robed Rhona replied in a low voice, "But my student Nina should be there, although I don't know if she noticed all this......"

"Nina is the one who sent us in with Void magic, and she probably doesn't know any more than I do." Duan Qing shook his head slightly: "The only ones who witnessed the whole process and even knew the truth should be the other adventurer present and Norman himself, but one of them belongs to the Restoration, and the other has been burned to ashes, so this matter is ...... I'm afraid there are no good witnesses to prove it. ”

“…… It's just a possibility, and I can't even convince it. Then Christine's eyes became a little cold again: "And...... What should be the explanation for the previous invasion? She broke in at about the same time as the rest of the Restorationists, and later even helped the Restorationists destroy the Tower's magical defenses! You and her were the only adventurers who had entered the temple before, and you were all qualified to become spies......"

"That's something I've always wanted to understand about this matter."

Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "I and Xue Ling Phantom Ice had suspected that there was a traitor within the Mage Council some time ago, and this matter was also mentioned to Lord Norman and Lord Marlock when we visited the Tower of Tyran, judging from the current results, there is probably nothing wrong with such a judgment, just think back to the whole incident, as well as the inexplicable rampage of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice......

"We were visiting the lower level, and when we walked to a certain level, we were surprised to find the sight of the Restorationists planting a magic bomb near the library at the top of the hill in Windflower Town, and we couldn't wait to pass through the portal." He looked at the faces of the two women present: "According to what you just said, Lord Christine, my companion Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and the rest of the Restorationists have returned from the previous portal and started attacking, so ...... The existence of this portal has become very coincidental. ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"I mean, did we 'coincidentally' run into someone's infiltration plan and then fall victim to and replace them?"

In the cold wind gradually blowing behind the square, Duan Qing's voice became as cold as darkness: "Although I don't know much about the specific structure, judging from the situation you described before, this intrusion point must be very close to the teleportation management center......

"It's just your side of the story."

After thinking for a while, Christine shook her head slightly: "Or ...... It's more of a low-level possibility, and judging from the magical images I've received from the Council of Seven and the other councils, it's more like you've broken through the defenses of the Tower of Tyranny and then destroyed the portal......"

"Plans always have to be prepared to be executed, especially if it's such a big plan as the occupation of your temple." Duan Qing on the side immediately shook his head: "Although from the perspective of a party, there are still many things I haven't figured out, such as ...... Lady Rhona, is there a theoretical violent break-in that might *********** break in? ”

"It's to find the location of that alternate dimension without any reference."

Pointing to the top of their heads, Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "I have seen the scene after the high walls of that tower were destroyed, and I have also heard Nina's explanation, that tower ...... It must be in the void, right? ”

“…… That's right, that's how I got in. Rhona with her hands folded in front of her abdomen lowered her head slightly: "But...... It should be impossible to find there without coordinates, because the so-called void is just a conceptual space, and it has no boundaries at all......"

"I don't understand it very much...... "Christine looked at the two people in front of her, "Someone told me the location of the Restorationist Temple...... Is that what you're trying to say? ”

"That's right, it's almost proof that there must be traitors in the Mage Council that you haven't found out." Duan Qing nodded: "He must know the true face of the temple, and he told the first attackers who broke into that place the coordinates, if my inference is correct, he should also be a person who understands the void, and a magician who is well versed in space magic and teleportation theory......"

"Tress."

The name was read out in a low voice, and Christine's eyes changed a few times: "Is it him?" No, it can't be ......"

"I also don't think it's possible, after all, I have worked with him for a while." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Under his instructions, we even recovered the villages near the western part of the Fenghua Plain, and under the guidance of the villagers, we climbed the Hulan Mountain and found the furnace in the primeval forest on the top of the mountain......

"Now it seems that everything is in good shadows." Speaking of this, Duan Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "For example, the later restorers also discovered the existence of that furnace and began to send troops there, and for example, he later informed us that Freya, the mentor of the Thousand Fingered Crane, was attacked on Hulan Mountain, and prompted us to come to Fenghua Town...... Emotionally, it's hard for me to accept the fact that the magician who helped us so many times is the Restoration, but all the evidence is ...... for now All have been pointed at him. ”

"But he's on our dead list." Looking at Duan Qing's smiling expression, Christine shook her head and replied, "He is dead now, and everything you deduced just now cannot be verified at all......

"I understand that, too, so I ...... before I haven't had any idea of clarifying. Duan Qing replied with a wry smile, "It's not a good idea to accuse a magician who has died heroically as a traitor in such an unfavorable situation, not to mention that my companion did in fact kill many people who shouldn't have died...... Saying this now is just telling you some of my immature inferences for your reference. ”

“…… Well, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to judge based on the magical images that Marlock gave. Looking at Duan Qing's sincere face, Christine finally relaxed her serious countenance: "But with all due respect, under the condition that the rest of the Council of Seven does not know the situation at that time, we can only rely on Mallock's description as a basis, and now that the matter has come to this, it is very difficult to change this decision......"

"I'm very grateful that you had the patience to listen to me."

Knowing that his prestige in the other party's heart had finally played a role, Duan Qing hurriedly bent down and saluted: "As for the consequences of this so-called statement and the secular world...... I guess it's for some other reason. ”

“…… Other reasons? ”

"Hmm...... It's my own reasons. ”

Pointing to his chest, Duan Qing smiled and got up again: "After dealing with some things, I will be responsible for solving some of these reasons, after all, there were not only two of us who appeared in the Tower of Tyranny at that time, but in the end, only the two of us became the enemies of the world with the Fool Adventure Group...... No one is operating in secret, and I don't believe it myself. ”

“…… I will bring everything you said back to the Council of Mages and have the Council of Seven reconsider its previous decision. Christine shook her head slightly, "In addition to Marlock, you and your companions also seem to have made a good impression on the rest of the council, so ......"

"No, we don't need it yet."

With both hands pushing forward slightly, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Before the more realistic troubles are solved......

"It might be more beneficial for me for you to maintain this illusion."
